I see lots of Muslims trying to bend and twist Islam to their desires lately

I've stumbled on forums on and outside of Reddit, groups, communities, whatever you want to call them. Some of those groups had people who'd be indulging in tons of immoral acts and sins, and they preached them like they were allowed.

I would see people talking about how being gay is not actually a sin (same with trans), how crossdressing is actually not a sin (as they claim it wasn't mentioned in the Quran). I've even seen some trying to justify zina, dating, some even alcohol.

A pattern I see with them is that most if not all reject the hadith, they will ignore all the hadith references. I have never seen or talked to a person who could bring up a true logical argument for rejecting hadith. They usually reject it because instead they'd have to change their ways.

A person does a certain act, they see that it is actually haram in the hadith, start rejecting all of the hadith. They bend religion instead of bending themselves. Islam is one constant, Quran has never been changed since it was revealed, and now they try to justify these things?

None try to reason as much. They only have an attempt at reason when trying to justify why something is allowed, never trying to realize why it was made a prohibition in the first place.

For some, sadly, Islam has become nothing more than just desires. Some do not have any moral compass, they only react with emotions. Most can't even use reason to argue or debate. They start insulting you and calling you names the same moment you oppose their stance.

I could also go on to talk about the people who are just like this, but their drive is arrogance. Some will think themselves better than others and use religion to justify their behavior. If you gave these people a position of power, they'd certainly turn into cruel tyrants. The stories I hear and read about certain people using Islam to justify violence, regardless if it is in their homes or wider, they are horrible.

Islam in my opinion, the true Islam, it is neither as restrictive as some claim, nor is it as full of freedom as some try to make it to be.

May Allah guide us all towards the right path. Certainly we are in dark times, the truth is confusing. May Allah show the true path to those who are being blinded by others. He truly sees all and knows all. May He have mercy on us and guide us, for some of us are truly blinded by desires.
